hi,

Such is the coolness of activeX that everyone  running MS OS's has to
disable or otherwise suffer the slings and arrows...Indeed such is the
nature of corperate,nevermind the kiddie hackers of the world,shanagins even
this will not save you. Only last week I read on the web that MS,and I doubt
if they are the only ones who do likewise,have their own 'backdoor' to
circumvent any security options that you turn on. Their ActiveX's don't need
permission to do whatever,and the whatever can be very nasty,they want. Sure
you can do real cool things with ActiveX's but their will be tears at
bedtime when the kiddies open the door and want to play.
